Bonus: What would happen to Earth if mosquitoes became extinct?

Mass mosquito extinction would eliminate about 3,500 species, creating a distinct absence from the environment and a lack of food for migratory birds. If mosquitoes were eliminated, the number of birds could drop by more than half. Some scientists predict that a similar fate awaits many fish species around the globe, which would need to adapt their diet to survive. This scenario would be particularly difficult for specialized predators, such as the mosquitofish. In fact, if mosquitoes were to disappear, the other insects and fish that feed on them would dwindle in number, which could cause a ripple effect throughout the food chain. It would shake up the whole global environment as we know it and, in the end, affect our own lifestyle in environment and food produce.
